Kejriwal said that ‘pollution has increased in Delhi. The problem of air pollution is not only in Delhi, but the air of many cities of North India has deteriorated. Only Aam Aadmi Party is not responsible for pollution. The central government has to come forward to solve this problem.’
Stubble burning in Punjab
Kejriwal said, ‘We believe that stubble is burning in Punjab. But farmers are not responsible for this. They need a solution. If they find a solution, they will stop burning the stubble. Smoke enters the farmer’s house before coming to Delhi. We have a government in Punjab, if stubble is burning in Punjab, then AAP government takes responsibility for it. It has been only 6 months since our government was formed but we have taken many steps. Success was achieved in some steps and not in some. I hope the problem of stubble will be over by next year.’
CM Kejriwal said that ‘we are responsible for the stubble of Punjab. The stubble problem will be solved by next year. Abusing Kejriwal will not clear the air. We need to plan together. Kejriwal said that we are considering odd-even. It will be implemented if needed.’
